They also lacked the required Panzer divisions if I’m right since Hitler decided to appease both Gert Avon Runstedt(?) and Rommel’s different demands for the exact location of the tanks

Eh, it would not have mattered. Hitler was micro-managing everything at that point. Also, subsequent actions proved the panzer divisions were useless near the beach. The Germans never had any hope of repulsing the invasion without enough air power to repulse the Allied naval force.
